Donald Trump

I support the NFL athletes who pushed back on President Donald Trump’s divisive remarks that disdain the right to dissent. The athletes and coaches were expressing their displeasure with the president and his actions, not the military or ideals which the country cherishes. If anything, they wanted to remind us all of what America stands for.

Now I would encourage the athletes and everyone who supports them to take the next steps to make sure our voices are heard and our hopes realized by helping to get people registered to vote. Locking arms is a legitimate gesture, but voting is how we are going to make the change we need.
